The Hayling College
Hayling Island, PO11 0NU · Hampshire · secondary school
55th of 67 secondary schools in Hampshire we can score, 69 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.5/10 against 781 of them, against 1.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 35.8 · 30 | 46% | 1.37 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.78 · 6 | 38% | 0.24 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 38.3 · 14 | 15% | 0.22 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 35.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 38.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.78 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils perform in productions such as Sister Act Jr. and Street Art, and visit Disneyland Paris, PGL Liddington, Paultons Park, and Little Canada.
Getting in. The school has 516 pupils in a capacity of 750, leaving 234 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their Progress 8 score and the national expectation? What specific support is available for students who need extra help with English and maths? How does the school utilise its large number of spare places to maintain high teaching standards?
